Is the schedule (or at least start/end times for each day) available yet? Just so I can book my traintickets (travelling up from London is cheaper than staying in a hotel), and still be on time for everything ;)

Ronald, just take any-time tickets so you want have to go at a particular time, I did that for OW14 and it went so well. So no stress about getting to the station at a specific time :)

It's super expensive though. In Belgium, I can get from one side of the country to the other at any time of the day, for 5 euro.

Sorry for not completing the schedule yet. Been very busy.

The order and timings are done just need to fill out the rest. I'll get round to it soon.

Meanwhile here's the schedule:

Why don't you try 5BLD? It's not that much more difficult that 4BLD. I look forward to seeing you there.

Goals:

Event: Single/Average

2x2: sub-7/sub-9
3x3: sub-24/sub-27
4x4: sub-2:35/N/A
5x5: sub-4:50/N/A
6x6+7x7: sub-when they notice I've gone over the cutoff
Skewb: sub-30/sub-35 (but reach the soft cut)
Pyraminx: sub-10/sub-16
FMC: sub-I-don't-know-because-I-have-never-even-attempted-FMC-and-am-just-going-to-use-CFOP-or-my-fail-at-ZZ
Clock: sub-40/sub-50 (reach the cutoff)
OH: sub-1/sub-1:10 (soft cut)
BLD: sub-3/maybe a mean, but I am currently concentrated on fast singles, as my memo. takes about 20 seconds, but execution takes ages.
4BLD: success!
5BLD: success!
MBLD: I don't know how many to do. Maybe aim for 5/5.

Hanif Virji (my father) has decided that he is incapable of solving a Skewb, Pyraminx, Clock, or 3x3x3. Please could he only do 2x2x2. Thank you.

Unacceptable. You have over a month to force your hobby on your father. I'll remove him closer to the time if you fail in your task.

Clock can be taught in literally 30 seconds, Pyra can be solved intuitively, Skewb can be taught in about 3 mins with 3 algs (one is just a mirror) and if he can already solve a 2x2 and presumably could solve the cross on a 3x3 then he's almost there.

Good luck.

Added bonus, if you do get him into it he'll be more willing to get you to extra comps plus added benefits like becoming favourite child and getting awesome car when you pass your test.
(Assumptions have been made but this is tips for the whole community ;-))

He can nearly solve a 2x2x2 (he's got the first layer covered), and he can do the cross. That is all. He thinks that Pyraminx and Skewb are gimmicks, and even when I try to teach the one algorithm Skewb method, he refuses. He also thinks that Clock is nonsense, and refuses to watch James Molloy's one minute tutorial, or let me teach it to him.

I'll keep trying...
